Kyiv Hit Century In Big Win

BC Kyiv hit triple figures as they demolished Kormend 102-64 to end their EuroChallenge Group D campaign on a high note.

Both teams had already seen their hopes of progressing dashed, but Kyiv did not let that stop them enjoying the final group game as six players scored in double figures.

Kormend had won the reverse fixture 103-99 - but this time it was almost one-way traffic in the second half.

After a fairly even start that saw the teams trading blows until the mid-point of the second quarter, Kyiv revealed they had several extra gears and left the visitors trailing in their wake.

Vladyslav Podolyan's three capped a 12-3 run that made it 37-27 with 5:25 to go in the second quarter and by the time Lee Humphrey sank a three-pointer just before half-time the advantage was 54-35.

The lead grew to 30 when Vyacheslav Bobrov's jump-shot made it 78-48 with 2:54 left in the third period and although the result was long since known, Kyiv kept pushing to the end, reaching triple figures when Pavlo Krutous sank a three with 34 seconds left.

Ruslan Otverchenko led the way with 19 points while Humphrey and Michael Davis had 18 each. Podolyan and Bobrov had 13 points each with Vladyslav Kondratyev adding 10.
